Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Compendium of Slavery, as It Exists in the Present Day in the United States of America: To Which Is Prefixed, a Brief View of the Author´s Descent From an African King on One Side, and From the Celebrated Indian Chief Powhattan on the Other; In Which He Refers to the Principal Transactions and Negotiations Between This Noble Chief and the En In dedicating the following pages to the people of Great Britain and Ireland, I trust that their sympathy with the oppressed and degraded Africans, in their present state of slavery throughout the southern regions of the United States of America, will overlook the imperfections of an humble education, as well as appreciate my motives for thus appearing so publicly before them. I must however, avow that the intelligence and humanity of this enlightened nation have alone encouraged and induced me to offer this tribute of respect to so illustrious and magnanimous an empire. With due regard and respect for all the true, candid, and fearless representations which have already been made by the abolitionists, both of the old and new world, respecting this monstrous and antichristian system of servitude, bondage, and kidnapping, I humbly beg leave to add a few of my own personal observations to the dark calendar of iniquities, which cast an indelible stain on the national character of this proud and free republic of the nineteenth century. While I disclaim any pecuniary considerations on my own part, or any ungrateful prejudice against the land of my nativity, I feel myself fully justified by the principles of humanity and charity, in contributing my mite towards the exposure of so barbarous a traffic in human flesh and bones.
